Derek Smart would've released a broken game by now and spend all his time arguing that you're just playing it wrong and it works on his computer and he's god and he's the best developer and he has the best judgement and "Gina".

I doubt I'll preorder, but I'll get it on sale at some point.

Muscular Beaver's 'equally loud sounds' comment is fair, the first game sort of had the same issue, if I recall. Didn't make it unplayable though.

Isn't this new one supposed to have full campaign co-op too? I'm looking forward to trying it just for that reason providing the rest of the game is at least half decent.

I know it was a pretty radical departure from the original gameplay-wise, but I still REALLY enjoyed Dead Space 3 because of it's co-op play. I thought it was a great example of how to do campaign co-op really well, because of the two separate characters that each had their own backstory and set of events to explore through the game. Not to mention some of the really cool scripted moments like the shuttle ride, which get even better in co-op.

About time we got some more tangible stuff! I'm saddened by how poorly this game ended up doing as I rather enjoyed playing this before the player base bottomed out, and have been looking forward to getting more story content.

Vall Forran wrote on Aug 25, 2016, 22:55:Is it good? I'm curious. I've heard weird design decisions have been made that made the game not fun.

When I played the beta's multiplayer we generally had fun, but we discovered that tactical combat had been disabled for multiplayer, This was a pretty huge let-down as it removed a pretty dramatic component of gameplay that we had been looking forward to seeing. I don't know if they've addressed that yet or not.

I got bored of JC3 after 13h.If it had had MP/CO-OP, I'd still be playing it!

Won't be buying JC4 without co-op at launch!

God, I would love to have co-op play in Just Cause 3. The most similar type of game I can think of that had this was Mercenaries 2, which turned a somewhat average experience into something hilarious and awesome.

Wetworks wrote on May 24, 2016, 22:12:The 26 min let's play video of Alani shows exactly why I enjoy Battleborn so much more than Overwatch. Overwatch is fun in short bursts, but like bubblegum the lack of progression and complexity leaves me sated after a few matches.

Battleborn is just so much more complex, meaningful account and character progression, gear farming and selection, mutation unlocks, leveling up during the match, multiple objectives on the map, 30 minute matches, PvE and PvP content, actually unique and different gameplay modes, etc...

Steam shows I have 2 hrs in TF2 and I have 220 hrs in Planetside 2. I just like deeper games.

Yeah, I kinda feel the same way. Overwatch just really wasn't satisfying for me to play over the long-term, but I keep coming back to Battleborn over and over again. Something with the gameplay style is just really addictive and enjoyable for me, and I really love the dialogue between the various characters. Overwatch just feels like a bunch of frantic action.

I get that it's not for everyone, but it's a real shame the amount of hate Battleborn is getting because it's honestly not bad.

Task wrote on May 2, 2016, 09:51:Perhaps, but a 2142 sequel would have better MP mayhem with huge maps and vehicles. CoD 2142 would obviously have the single player campaign edge however, since DICEs SPs are very Poo.

SP is the weak point of CoD.

Is it? Sorry but I've gotta disagree - I've always enjoyed playing the CoD games exclusively for the singleplayer and all the crazy scripting / story events that happen. Hoping this one turns out good too.

Agreed - I remember hearing about this game a long time ago and then it sort of disappeared into the void. Glad to hear it's finally getting somewhere! Will be watching this to see if it turns out to be any good.
